Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gear ring processing, in particular to an automatic production line for gear ring processing. Background Art
[0002] When processing the gear ring, the annular blank needs to be processed into a smooth surface first. Specifically, the outer cylindrical surface, inner ring surface and both end surfaces need to be processed. Traditional CNC machine tools are used for processing. Each machine tool needs to be manually responsible for loading and unloading materials, and the production efficiency is not high. Some companies have one person responsible for multiple machine tools, and the labor intensity is relatively high. In addition, each machine tool is equipped with a waste chip conveyor, and a small cart for collecting waste chips is placed at the exit of each waste chip conveyor, which occupies a large area. Some machine tools have heavy processing tasks and fast chip removal, while some machine tools have light processing tasks and slow chip removal. Therefore, each cart needs people to regularly transport the unloaded materials, which is inconvenient to operate. Summary of the invention
